Water sports and other activities for your trip to Mallorca

In addition to finding a beautiful villa to rent in Mallorca, we advise you to combine your stay with water sports or other unique activities to spice up your stay on the Mediterranean island. Going on a trip to Mallorca means finding the perfect blend of relaxation, walks in the villages and along the fine sandy beaches and other exciting activities.

And one of the most enjoyable activities on the island of Mallorca is of course water sports. This Balearic island has countless beautiful beaches, which can also be admired from within its turquoise waters. Jet skiing in Mallorca, for example, is relatively easy and can be practised in many places on the island. Jet skis can be driven without a licence and represent a classic water sport activity in Mallorca.

Although it requires a certain amount of balance, flyboarding is becoming increasingly popular. This aquatic activity lets you fly above the water, thanks to a thruster attached to your feet. By merely curving your body, it is possible to experience the most wonderful sensations. The island of Mallorca also offers canyoning in its many gorges, revealing interesting rock formations, beautiful natural pools and caves. And since there are plenty of cliffs, try coasteering and dive from 2 metres to 12 metres above the water ! The playa d'Alcudia in the north-east of the island of Mallorca also offers parasailing and water skiing.

For the slightly less bold, you can still rent a sailboat or catamaran for a day or half-day sailing trip. Set sail for an extraordinary adventure with the crystalline waters as your backdrop. During your own cruise, you may even be lucky enough to see dolphins. An evening catamaran trip at sunset in the bay of Palma de Mallorca is a truly magical moment! Jump into the water for a swim and then go scuba diving and explore the seabed.

Whether it's jet skiing, flyboarding or sailing, these activities in Palma de Mallorca or elsewhere on the island are very easy to book, as they are often located along the beaches. You can easily arrange to hire a scooter in Palma de Mallorca or try sea kayaking and canoeing, before finishing in the water for a swim.

The island is also the ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts. When you visit the island of Mallorca, you will find plenty of trails for walking, hiking and even trekking with abseiling. To make the most of these trekking opportunities, rent a villa in the southeast of Mallorca. You can visit the lighthouse of Cala Figuera or make your way along the coast to gaze at the majestic cliffs.

Alternatively, you could go full speed on a quad bike or buggy and ride through the countryside of Mallorca with your hair blowing in the wind. You can cross wild open spaces, beaches or coastal paths and enjoy one of Mallorca's signature experiences.

During your holiday in Mallorca, you may want to try rock climbing on one of the island's cliff faces. Some spots are particularly popular, such as Sa Gubia or Soller. They are located in the west of the island, in the Serra de Tramuntana, the island's mountain range.

Make the most of the mild climate to play golf in Mallorca. Well away from the crowds, there are some beautiful renowned courses to play.

The most popular unusual activity in Mallorca, and the one that allows you to get above it all, is hot air ballooning. Embark on a magical journey, somewhere between the sky and the sea, and visit Mallorca in a different way. This popular tourist activity is one of the best ways to enjoy the great outdoors from above, while admiring the beauty of a natural park or picturing yourself on other Spanish islands, such as Menorca or Formentera.

You can take a road trip through Mallorca from your luxury villa in Mallorca and go caving. There are plenty of caves and all-inclusive, supervised caving trips to choose from, ranging from abseiling to exploring the mysterious, subterranean waters. So, in addition to experiencing the most wonderful heavenly beaches, why not take advantage of the many attractions and great offers to make your stay in Mallorca truly unforgettable ?
